==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
'''Gravitational Field Strength''' is the [[force]] on an [[object]] per [[kilogram]] in a [[Gravitational Field|gravitational field]].
===About Gravitational Field Strength===
: On [[Earth]] '''gravitational field strength''' is 10 [[Newton]]s for each [[kilogram]] of [[mass]] (10N/kg).
: Different [[object]]s have different '''gravitational field strengths'''.
